Graphs
Solve problems involving graphs, such as finding where the line y = x + 5 crosses the line y = 1
Solve a set of linear inequalities in 2 variables by representing the solution as a region on a graph
Know that each equation can be represented by a line on a graph and that the point of
intersection of the lines is the solution
Use the points of intersection of a quadratic graph such as y = x 2 - 2x - 4 with lines such as y =
2x + 1 to solve equations like x2 - 2x 4 = 2x + 1 and simplify this to x2 - 4x 5 = 0
